I have thrown this line into the wind in heavy thunderstorms where most fishermen wouldn’t be out there with no problems in accuracy. Sure, you are going to cut it on a sharp rock, any line will. If you get it snagged up, just cut it, it is not worth moving your boat for if you are in a good hole with 5 other rods out. Having problems with line twist, well you have a cheap swivel that doesn’t work correctly. Cut it off and reach in your rig box and pull out a new one. That is why you have a reel that you can put 300 yards on that I respool every tournament with fresh line. Use the same line on your rigs as you do on your reel. You really do not need to mess around with mono leaders when using power pro. It just wastes time tying up these intricate rigs and defeats the purpose of having good line to begin with on your reel. Use all palomar knots tying your hook on, then to your swivel, run your slip sinkers on and tie on your rig if you don’t already have them pretied. The more time you spend tying your rigs, the less time you are in the water and concentrating on watching the tips of your rods. Normally, I will save the line and either give it away to some of my friends or I have used some for making rods. Does work great for running in your grape vines and I did use it this past year for leveling out a new deck for my house. I have an eye bolt rigged up to respool it with a drill. Just make sure you use a good locking washer in between 2 nuts with another washer as the hub. I do not use mono for backing. This trick took awhile to figure out and I will be happy to share it for others. You wrap the spool 4 or 5 times and then tie your knot. The 4500 Baitrunners have small grooves in the actual spool. So you try to cover as much of the width of the spool with wrapping 5 times then putting your knot in the middle. This might take a few trys at first, but make sure it is backwards from the way the line will run on the spool as it will then tighten against it. I have no clue what the knot is I use as it is like a modified Trilene is the closest I have seen. Fresh Power Pro feels kind of waxy which does help reducing the slippage factor here.
